What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

good looking rigs!

 

We have a Tacoma and a passport, so close!

 

Circleville area??? I thought I saw one online for sale around that area.

Nice looking

 

Looks better without the dressing IMO.

 

You can change that sticker. There's a guy on Etsy that makes custom stickers that are the same "domed" style as the stock Leer sticker.

 

I agree!

 

Great mod!

 

Do you have a link?

 

@ponts I’m not the OP but I got mine from here …

I didn't know this existed, thanks, just ordered some in matte black

 

They are the stock Ridgid fog lights that come on the truck like someone mentioned above.

This one was at Hinderer Honda in Heath. I was browsing around looking for inventory of Solar Octane since a couple came in to dealers recently, kept coming up with nothing. Then I tried Autotrader and spot checking random other dealer sites and saw the one I ended up with.

 

I know these are a dime a dozen these days. Put a Pelican v700 Vault case on my Prinsu Rack. I don't plan to leave this on permanently as I only offroad about 4 times per year and plan to put recovery gear up here mainly. Head on pic it appears a bit too close to the edge so I plan to slide it in by ~2" when used. I have it loaded up now with:

• Snatch strap
• Tow Rope
• 2 soft shackles
• Work gloves
• Small ax/hatchet
• Small saw
• Some leveling blocks
• A rollup floor rug that I put down behind my truck when I camp (I sleep in the back)
• Still some room to spare for small, light stuff on top of other items

I used the thinnest foam insert on the bottom so stuff doesn't shift.

I went with the v700 because I have a moonroof and didn't want it covered and to be honest was also afraid of being tempted to load it up and the weight up top getting too much, so I strayed away from the v730. Recovery gear adds up. So much that I am putting my hard shackles and recovery hitch in the bed with the air compressor storage box simply because of their heft and weight.

Took about 2 hours with most of that measuring, checking, measuring, checking, and measuring again. I did the 2 carriage bolts up front first, made sure those worked, then measured and remeasured back. Hard to get it precise. I ended up enlarging all 4 holes to 5/16" so it was easier to get the vault on top and the bolts into the holes. One is off just ever so slightly but I got it with some playing around. I plan to enlarge the 2 on the back to 3/8" to make it easier.

Going to leave it on this week and loaded just to see if I notice any handling difference and if stuff shifts over the next 4-5 days.

 

Gave ‘er a bath and vacuumed for the first time in a while. Also got in my “free” holders for the back of the headrests. Had a nice long weekend of football watching and wore one of the dogs out.

 

Looks great. I keep a small tool bag and my tire patch kit in mine also. I have a 2 rifle case not the same as yours, it looks like yours has much more room. I also keep a US flag on a pole in mine for once we set camp.

Wash and wax.... it's been a bit...

 

Looks like a little Smokey.. Vol dog

 

What mud flaps you running on that ?

 

haha she’s supposedly a mini-golden mixed with a schnauzer but I think she’s got some kind of bluetick coonhound in her DNA somewhere. She’s got the hound look with a spotted belly. We sure had a ton of fun cheering on our Vols on Saturday.

 

Decided to pick up a new Digital Tire gauge. Must say I’m pretty impressed especially for the money a very solid piece that seems to be very accurate. It even has a bleed off valve for airing down that’s very convenient.

Then I had to pull out some ceramic coat and compound to remove a bird poop stain. Fortunately it came right out then I sealed it up.
I tell ya the audacity of birds these days
Oh and a Taco trip to the store resulted in a Bat to get ready for Halloween I named him Guido.

The little guy sure is excited for Halloween and won’t sit still
